Wroxton

Wroxton is a village and civil parish in the north of Oxfordshire, England, about 3 miles (5 km) west of Banbury.

[1] Wroxton Abbey is a Jacobean country house on the site of a former Augustinian priory.

The Wroxton Abbey grounds are open to the public although during 2020 and much of 2021 they were closed due to risk of falling timber.

The west tower was designed by Sanderson Miller and in 1748, paid for by Lord North, who owned Wroxton Abbey.

[11] An ironstone quarry northwest of the village was opened in 1917 and worked heavily in the Second World War.

Wroxton Abbey who were fundraising to restore the pub abandoned their plans in February 2021 citing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
